Also, it takes time to see the progress (at least at week), that would encourage us to do more. Honestly, it is hard to get in shape (hyperventilating, muscle pain). It gets better with time<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Gir O Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Its good because it  helps you to stretche your muscles.PTSD I don&#39;t alot about that one,sorry I can&#39;t give you this infomation\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Neil F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">When you start an exercise routine you don&#39;t need a buddy for pushing you. You need to be alone and just think that you are exercising for you. When I started it was an escape from my problems. I started running. Every day I  thought that I run away from a problem. And Every I became better. Then all this transformed in a routine.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Amelia C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Starting an exercise routine is difficult for some people who might not be the &quot;sporty&quot; type.<br \/>\nI recommend a class, or a friend who can motivate and join you. Think small, like a short walk together, then gradually add to the minutes.<br \/>\nPTSD can be debilitating for many activities.<br \/>\nAgain, I recommend a small class, where interactions are easy going; and fun.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jeffery F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It&#39;s hard to form habits. Especially if you mentally look at the exercise ahead of you as something  negative. In addition to training your body you&#39;re retraining your mind to see the positive benefits of exercise and see it as a positive thing you want to do and look forward to doing. Also, body at rest tends to stay at rest. Not sure about PTSD. Start small with quick 5-7 min exercises in the morning that don&#39;t seem overwhelming. It took me months to form the habit. With lots of failed attempts. Don&#39;t let it get you down.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Gabriella B.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I can&#39;t help with the PTSD.  But, as a person with disabilities, I&#39;ve made minor changes that make the barriers controllable.  For example, I can&#39;t go outside if it is below 50\u00b0.  So, I have a box inside with kettle bells, bands, mats, etc. I also use some of the fantastic apps that put together the kind of workout I want to do.  Now, even if it&#39;s cold, there is no excuse for not getting in a work out.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Apr Gio C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">The answer is that if you didn\u2019t before, creating a challenge or a new habbet, it\u2019s hard! You can do anything though(If u try)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jonathan U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Mostly it&#39;s the sense of not knowing how to exactly start the exercise as in to go for a walk, exercise or some other form. Determining how to proceed with the exercise beforehand makes it easier to get on with it.<br \/>\nNo comments regarding PTSD.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alice O.
